States That Give A Helping Hand! Does Your Location Pay People to Move In?

SHARE:

No one likes to move house. The process of packing up and going is complicated, stressful, and not to mention incredibly exhausting.  Yet, sometimes, it’s a necessary evil. Maybe they are moving out of their parents’ place for the first time, maybe they’re looking for a new job. Maybe they are a brave soul looking for a fresh start, a new life, or new adventure to turn a leaf. Sure, plenty of people move with a specific region in mind, but some adventurous people just want something new (and work remote, so they can do it). For those people, there’s one fantastic way to advertise your location to your potential applicants.

Do you live in somewhere that will pay people thousands of dollars to move there?

West Virginia

Mountain Mama, take me home country roads. If you’re rocking a property near those Blue Ridge Mountains or otherwise in Morgantown, you can put a lot of money on those advertisements to out of state applications. West Virginia is offering up ten thousand dollars for out of towners to move in, and that is just the first year. People who stay for a second year can get another two grand on top of that. Plus they’re throwing in free outdoor activities that make the state so unique. When advertising your West Virginian property point out some of the fun things your applicants can do on the weekend at no cost for a year such as hiking or kayaking.

Northwest Arkansas

Maybe your applicants are bigger chefs than they are Postmates fans, and that’s cool too. What you can do instead is offer up a free street or mountain bike in honor of their widespread biking trails. Those bikes can be pretty expensive too. For people looking for a simpler life, Northwest Arkansas is not just offering up a pretty set of wheels but is also throwing in a $10000 cash incentive for people to come move out. For those who prefer artistic culture to popping wheelies, tell your applicants that they can opt in for “an annual membership to one of [their] world-class arts and cultural institutions.”

Good marketing is hard to come by, but so few people can say ‘we’ll give you ten grand’ as part of their marketing ploy. It’s not a bad way to get that vacancy filled, so consider using that to your advantage if you’re in one of the many places that can.
